Error in pulling docker.io/grpcweb/prereqs

[dudebing99]

According https://grpc.io/docs/platforms/web/quickstart/, try to pull all dependencies and got errors:

ERROR: repository docker.io/grpcweb/prereqs not found: does not exist or no pull access

Today I noticed that it is building from source as a fallback. However, that fails for another reason:

@dudebing99 @emicklei Thanks for the report.. :)

It is true that grpcweb/prereqs image was NOT uploaded to dockerhub.. and the grpcweb/common image which prereqs is based upon was uploaded about 1 year ago, hence the build errors..

---

@emicklei As i mentioned above, the build error you see is probably due to building off of a year-old grpcweb/common image..

If you do the following it should be able to build prereqs ok..

docker rmi grpcweb/common grpcweb/prereqs
docker-compose build common prereqs

---

@dudebing99 Similarly, if you remove the out-dated grpcweb/common image, then you should hopefully be able to run the demo using the following commands (it'll rebuild the common image locally).. :)

docker rmi grpcweb/common
docker-compose pull node-server envoy commonjs-client
docker-compose up -d node-server envoy commonjs-client

---

In any case, it's definitely suboptimal to be running/building off of year-old images.. We will update the quickstart guide and/or our dockerhub images soon. :)

[sampajano]

Update: We've removed the out-dated grpcweb/common image on docker hub for now and updated the documentations so this shouldn't happen anymore. (And we'll probably update the images soon when we cut a new release.)

Let us know if you're still having issues here. Thanks again for the reports! :)

[emicklei]

thank you @sampajano , I got the demo working now

[sampajano]

Fantastic! Yw! 😃
